5.2. MODELLING LOCATION CHOICE AND SPATIAL PATTERN OF CPO PRODUCTION

There are 2 steps considered in modelling location choice of CPO factory: identification of optimum location of CPO factory; and identification of the shortest route of CPO transportation from factory to the networks. Identification of the most likely location of CPO factories in this study is started from calculation of production capacity of palm plantation for every year. Production capacity of plantation was classified in three classes according to area service. Assumption used in this study is that every plantation should have minimum area 5400 ha to have a factory. Proximity analysis using nearest distance to closest factory is used to identify the un-served plantations. Identification of the shortest route of CPO transport from factory to the road and river network that consist of: a identification of intermediate points on the closest road and river networks from the factories; and b identification of accessibility level of factories to the networks. Intermediate points are points in the road or river to transport CPO from factories to the final ports. Intermediate points are calculated from the shortest distance of factories to the road and river networks. The function of intermediate points in this process is to know the level of accessibility of factories to networks and to identify the starting points of transport route to the ports. Accessibility levels show the ease to transport CPO from factories to the closest intermediate points in the road and river networks. To identify the level of accessibility, the assumption is based on average velocity of road transport mode 40 kmhour. The accessibility is classified as good if the distance is less than 10 km 15 minutes trip, 10–20 km for moderate and more than 20 – 30 km for bad accessibility. The results of this process are the map accessibility of factories to the road and river networks. Max Des.
